Pros

WFH 2 days a week (though they are actively trying to remove this)

Cons

Measured on “lending” but can’t get measured on “lending”. You’re taught to take shortcuts and game the system so that upper management can have good “numbers”. Customers aren’t a priority, they’re looked at as “can I get a £10,000 overdraft because they won’t need a PG” Lots of systems broken. Some of the managers are clearly inexperienced and take it out on their staff. Underpaid, progression within is so difficult regardless of your performance.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
